You noob hahahahhahahahahahhahahah

[Bob kane]

Isn't an item less run technically a no pokeballs run

[Jaiden Animations]

Hahaha thank you for all the kind words man!! It’s been a fun time and thanks for enjoying the videos :) (AND SORRY AGAIN ABOUT THE NAME PRONUNCIATION)

[Guido Vieira]

"Some of his comments were more critical then others and directed at one of us more then the other" I like to see that this is true when he liked jaiden's comment and not alpha's

[Scedra Stoffel]

@Spegasparce agreed I thought they did it on porpoise as MandJTV would say

Jaiden: HI JAN! Jan: *through possibly the most wholesome smile ever* Hi Jaiden!

[DodoGamesBJ]

Jaiden:Jan PurpleCliffe:Yan

[Rayyan Moudood Chaudhary]

@gamester512 he literally said that with no emotion whatsoever i think you missed the point of the comment

[Nekuro]

@cat What version? The game they're playing is a rom of either Soul Silver or Heart Gold, with the use of a separate randomizer program to.. randomize the game. The base game isn't like that.

[cat]

Hiii ik this is random but can u tell me the version bc I rlly wanna play it on my 3Ds and there’s like 500 versions

[Demon player]

Yeah

[Native Waldo]

The way Jan switched from “this is why you lose your nuzlockes” to “this part of the game is so boring I would’ve also gotten a chicken sandwich” was fast lmao

[𝙸𝚝𝚣_𝙵𝚕𝚞𝚏𝚏𝚢]

I would've gotten a chicken sandwich too Im always hangry ok?!

[𝙸𝚝𝚣_𝙵𝚕𝚞𝚏𝚏𝚢]

This comment and these replies are HILARIOUS

[Brendan Corey]

@cat heart gold/soul silver. Just get a 300 in one ds card with pokemon on the front, take the rom out and randomize it with software on your computer. It'll work

[Wali]

@NotDWaddler fair enough, im on an older computer and im pretty sure melonds doesnt support it, so im just using desmume

[NotDWaddler]

@Wali DeSmuMe's kinda booty and unoptimized for Mons these days. It's easier to use MelonDS.

[JayPlayTV 08]

"I've never been animated this is feeding my narcissism right now!" *is literally always beaten up or embarrassed in the animation*

[Moshope Akinwale]

@Victor Pulse exactly! This shit is pure hype! Nothing to feel bad about

[Ajehy]

He got SUPER excited when Jaiden animated someone with his glasses critiquing her in the last one. Making him the comic villain of this is just an evolution of that.

[Victor Pulse]

TBF, he’s getting animated by a popular animator, without being asked if it was ok, and he doesn’t really give a shit about being beat up in the game. The epitome of “ok, and?…”

[RupphireLady]

"Don't have Ludicolo or Ariados, not great choices" Also Jan: Chooses Ludicolo and Ariados in the video

[Roy Platt]

Well, he did specifically state that it depended on if the movesets were randomized

[Jr’s Animation Station]

Lol

[Alpharad]

if animating you is all it takes to have a nice reaction, i’m gonna pick up drawing soon

[Lance Williams]

@snake360wraith very golden

[Viet Dragon]

if you stop killing legendary pokemon then maybe

[Quinn Limotte]

Jan hearted jaidens comment but not his

[DRIP DIO]

W

[Ifoundstocking]

Smart move bro😂✋

[SneakySileny]

31:54 I am suprised that Jaiden managed to hold herself from absolutely demolishing that Froslass.

[RoyaleTulips]

More like jacob stopped her

[Claw Hammer]

I would love to see Jan and Alpharad do a two player nuzlocke

[HealsBadMan]

Jan and Brayden doing a Soullink.

[Brian Schamel]

jan plays by his super hard rules, jacob gets the 'easier' rules

[Cyber Robert]

"If you randomize everything it gets boring" I honestly disagree with this. I think it gives a great element of surprise and memorization. Tho I usually don't randomize stats or evolutions just types, movesets, and abilities. As well as I like randomizing trainers but I use the "single type" rule with that so that it'll be fun trying to figure out what type a gym is.

[An4lAvenger]

Jan puts a ton of time into routing. It's similar to Pokémon speedrunning in that sense. Whereas randomizers are mostly just a playrhrough. And if you do full randomization, eventually you're going to find that one busted Pokémon that turns it to easy mode. Like a guts Slaking.

[Ignightors]

I only like doing wild encounters, gift pokemon, starters, and evolutions

[eren]

I think both randomised and set teams are good since they provide different experiences; like Jan said, he prefers prepping for upcoming battles with the tools he has on hand, but randomisers offer on-the-spot solutions and strategising, which is personally what I prefer (in the case of only randomising pokemon, not types or movesets)

[Weird-Creations]

I agree. For me, part of my love from pokemom is going in blind to new games. Specifically where I don't know much about the pokemon typing im going against, and its move set. It gets frustrating yeah, but I enjoy learning how each pokemon is, especially by the time I get to the E4

[LeftvsrightStudios]

The relationship you have with the Nuzlockers you review is so sweet, everyone at first is scared that you'll be mean but you're a huge softie.

[Patterrz]

can't believe you only got one kill on them man what's goin on

[Victor Pulse]

Counter Point (if you understand the joke, congrats).

[That One Guy]

he had to do a lot of damage calcs, didn't have time to do them all

[Michelle Garniga]

I agree

[uqure15]

@crita no

[Jolteon loves u]

Pat I'm a big fan

[ImaGoat1995]

Never watched one of your reaction videos and I gotta say honestly it's so refreshing to see someone not gatekeep nuzelocks. This guy is so chill "you wanna play on switch mode? That's cool" "oh you wanna use items? That's cool" "play with your nuzelock rules who cares"

[Miria Jiyuu]

@Tracy Blanchard I literally do nuzlockes with the base rules but then my friend who was watching decided to suggest additional rules and I just sorta went with them. It's more fun and basically just chaos now. But it's great

[Tracy Blanchard]

Oh yeah, it's a little surprising to see some get so elitist about it like they didn't start with the same freeform rulesets. That's how you practice to start with and get a feel for encounter judgements.

[The god of all Akira]

Now I want a three way soul link between them That sounds hilarious

[Leafeon078]

“Best nuzlocker in the world” You may say that, but always know there’s a five year old in Asia who’s always better. Always.

[Miwes traveler]

The truth we all know but refuse to admit.

[Lance Priester]

"This is 100% why you are losing most of your runs, most off you nuzlockes" I heard this scream in my head this morning. I started my very first Nuzlocke, on LeafGreen this morning and lost my first Mon, pidgey, because I accidentally attacked instead of shifted

[Zyle24]

Jaiden: it's your last chance to kill one of our Pokemons Jan: and I took that personally

[SmallBlackSteam]

The fact that this comment has more likes than Pchal’s comment on here… heh

[Demetrius demarcus the 88th of his bloodline]

@cat im pretty sure this is heart gold /soul silver and this was a randomizer so you need an emulator

[Victor Pulse]

@cat HeartGold/SoulSilver

[cat]

Hi ik this is random but pls tell me wich version this is because there’s like 500 version of Pokémon and I rlly wanna play it on my 3ds

[VALMUNG]

hey Jan i have an idea, do this but by yourself, it's gonna be interesting to watch how you handle two nuzlockes at once and watch how you build a team around the restrictions and everything

[Diana Berg]

I came here because of Jaiden Animations and you reacting to her videos... And that was the cutest thing I've seen this year! Serious your reaction about being animated is very nice and the way you took being their rival so well, it was the best! I loved the series and your reactions made them more understandable for a person that doesn't play much. I loved it! Thank you!

[Pkmn Trainer Red]

43:20 Wellp, Jan called it. Now I will NEVER underestimate defensive mons, I always underestimated them if they didn`t have even ok physical or special attack (if its not even 75 attack or spcl attack it sucks, said my mind in normal playthroughs.) But this is INSANE!

[Pkmn Trainer Red]

@An4lAvenger IKR? In-game you can just easily sweep most pokemon without having to stall (Its very easy on switch mode, on set mode its decently hard but not anything as hard as competitive or anything infuriating) but in competitive its fun to out-survive a whole team while toxic stalling. Feels *so G O O D* . I`ve toxic stalled with DustyPotato the Hippowdon & while I couldn`t stall a whole team I did manage to out-survive many bulky mons. It felt great.

[Pkmn Trainer Red]

@SedoGaming Great strats & ideas there! After playing some Pokemon Showdown I've realized that Ferrothorn is a common & great tank after facing it in battles, and it works well with Toxapex as it checks its fire weakness & good pivot against fighting types, another weakness of Ferro! And a drizzle Pelipper works greatly to check ground types while boosting both its own & Toxapex`s water moves! Yea, Wash Rotom works well too, and I think its kinda funny to use an electric type immune to ground to sweep a ground type LOL. Feels like you are taunting the opponent XD.

[An4lAvenger]

I find defensive Pokémon unbearable to use in the normal games. But in competitive I love them. There's just something so satisfying about toxic stalling entire teams to death.

[Pkmn Trainer Red]

@R. R. I have realized how powerful defensive mons are after using defensive Clefairy & Hoppowdon on my team. Yea, you need patience to use their potential properly.

[SedoGaming]

@R. R. Mine is the Ferropex ( Ferrothorn and Toxapex) that could both shrug off any form of attack except for Fire and Ground so all I need to remove that weakness is to go for drizzle pelipper, or SpDef+ invested Quagsire or Levitate Wash Rotom🤓.

[PhazonOmega]

Sturdy DID work that way originally?! I was so confused in later generations when non 1-hit-ko moves still triggered it, and I thought I missed something in gen 3. I feel so much better about that, now.

[Qelris Mysmae]

Bless you for the info on catch rates! I had missed this option! Me and my friend did our first nuzlocke runs, which we decided to pair with Randomizer and Soul Link, and we had issues with the catch rate.

[Skadi Evans]

This reaction and the animation and the nuzlocke in general is one of the best ive ever seen in terms of Entertainment n pure Fun. Great job Jan Jaiden and Alpharad

[Derek Stevens]

Jan makes the perfect Johto rival, he already uses Pokemon like tools and loves crobat

[Owen Davis]

You should do a soul link with Jaiden. That would be amazing content!

[Lane Davis]

agreed

[Lucas]

Someone gotta say it... They nailed the facial hair.

[Ihavenoname Stilldonthaveone]

They really did lmao

[Jong]

Actually

[Les Mortimers]

I’m SO sad Jayden concluded the series here. Those were my favorite videos. I understand that they were a ton of work though

[iPetable]

Watching all three of the Jaiden reactions from Jan shows his progress of becoming more open and himself in his videos. It's a fun progression to watch

[Matthew Jacobs]

He is being such a good sport, still giving feedback. A solid video, I enjoyed!

[• CookieTart •]

Jaiden actually did post a video of her doing the nuzlocke with Jacob on her other channel. It’s titled “What REALLY happened in our soul link” and has majority of the gameplay footage.

[GuntyMcThumbsniff]

Gotta love how she still gave Jan the typical "teleports behind you" glare in his glasses at every chance she got.

[Sky High Skyler]

Epithet reference? In a Pokémon Video? Living for it

[Blazi]

@Jieca Misla sorry im not a discord mod

[Caffeine]

Giovanni wants to know your location to teleport behind you

[oddly Black hat]

@VVGirl my exact thoughts THE LEGENDARY GIOVANNI POTAGE 🍲

[R3zberryblue]

why only 7 replies for a comment with 4.8k ? lmao

[Lord Bacon]

I love how he is giving legit good advice! Now even the viewers are improving!

[thewitchbasket]

Hear me out: triple soul link with Jan, Jacob, and Jaiden. The triple J squad lmao

[dragon force]

34:03 best villian laugh i heard in a long while

[yStrawBearry]

hes such a like tough analising but in this video he got just so happy that they animated him, this video is wholesome wtf 😭

[Obi-Wan Kenobi]

It's hilarious that Jan is the rival considering he actually had really positive reviews of Jaiden's Nuzlockes. Alpharad's on the other hand...

[lyme]

Bro if he had the quick claw he would've won duh

[R. R.]

@TDArulesclub4 Not true, he has entire segments saying to play your nuzlocke how you want and did admit Alpha’s mistakes were also cause he listened to his friends. He’s funnier in his own videos tho, the reaction videos don’t show that side.

[Emily M Arthur]

@Big Brother Xellos Sounds about right for Alpha

[JzanderN]

To be fair, even Jan admits Alpharad's worst mistakes were because of his friends. If only he had never listened to them.

[Super Lombax]

@TDArulesclub4 The truth is sometimes hard to hear, I'll admit. I've been in that position myself.

[ryn2075]

Watching this again, I feel compelled to share the horror of omni-boosts. This happened to me in Storm Silver recently, except it was a Ninetales with Ominous Wind, and it got boosted 3 times after all was said and done. Slowking with Disable and heal stalling somehow got me out of it with no deaths.

[Lefteris Mplanas]

That articuno scene had me rolling on the floor laugh xD

[Jan Baltes]

I love the fact that they animated Jan just shoulder shrugging(autocorrect helped there) Jaiden's playthings, when he was praising her a lot.

[Jan Baltes]

Bro, half minute later I figured out I was prepping my team against Winona with sturdy pokemon in an emerald rom. Thanks man

[JoeyStudios]

His reaction to seeing himself was just pure gold. XD

[Forbidden Chocolate]

"if the game bullshits you, you should never be ashamed to bullshit back" words to live by

[Tom Forge]

USUM: Necrozma instantly gained 10 levels. Me: Toxic strats it is then.

[Firestorm]

That just give me motivation

[R. R.]

It’s amazing advice. Sometimes you gotta throw away honor, not everything deserves it.

[Corban Gonzalez]

True

[HunterX57]

I once beat elite 4 in red/blue nuzlocke with sand attack spamming Pigeot. You do what you gotta do.

[R.A.P]

The froslass moment reminds me of battling my online friend with Amaura, using ancient power, and then me getting an Omni boost 4 times in a row😅….he gave up after the 3rd Omni boost, what makes this even more fucked is that he was 8 levels over me

[Soren Kazaren]

Honestly I think what makes this interesting is the soul link and type restrictions in place. Makes team building more difficult and effectively forces you into non-optimal choices for team comp… which is fun to see when you are someone who is used to looking at a team comp and min/maxing to perfection in base game.

[Pkmn Trainer Red]

2:21 This requires you to deeply understand type matchups so you can quickly analyze which types you already cover out of all the types covered by it then think up of the best alternative type to use instead. Honestly I like this need to get familiar with one of the easiest but sometimes overlooked parts of the mechanics

[AstralFloof]

you should collab with the two of them! i feel like your dynamic would be fun!

[LoorTheDarkElf]

I've only attempted one nuzlocke. And it ended when I had a absent moment and my vulpix who was the heart of the team thus far died. I just straight up quit, it didn't matter that the rest of my party didn't wipe she was my baby. RIP Kululu, you were the best fire puppy.

[Samuel Matson]

18:44 “sleep paralysis”, imagine making the enemy Pokémon see shadow demons lmao

[Noah Daglio]

I would totally watch Jan, Jaiden and Jacob race each other in a nuzlocke.

[Insult to the Human Race]

I'm impressed those two got around all those Palkias until Lance. Palkia's a pretty strong 'mon, and this being Heart Gold/Soul Silver its level up moveset is based on the level 1 version you can get from the Arceus event at the Sinjoh Ruins... meaning, its level up set is much tighter; it learns all of its moves by level 46, as opposed to being spread out to 90 in D/P/Pt.

[Foxycraft 123]

Lmao love how Jan joked about being the guy with the glasses in jaiden's platinum nuzlocke to actually being in a nuzlocke of jaiden

[Shuhei Hisagi]

Is that really Jan though, where is his tiny goatee and mustache?

[Felix Crawford]

@crita no we need bog

[Felix Crawford]

Obg

[Papa Fiendish]

You and jayden should do the next one together so we can see more of you animated. Pokemon challenges into the nuzlocke-verse

[Italian Love Cake]

I've been binging some of your vids and I have learned so much about Pokemon strats and moves. Awesome stuff!

[monoxide lullaby]

you were such a great sport in this video. aside from that, I actually found you from jaden and have learned a hell of a lot more now. so thank you for all of your info! my friend and I are going to be doing a soul link soon, but I have (at least) a bit more knowledge now from you : )

[Dove Martin]

Pchal cracking up over Jacob's run is so much funnier now that I've actually watched both Alpha's video and Pchal's full reaction (this video and those comments are what led me to look him up lol)

[logan]

“ Jan is gonna make so much fun of us when he finds out” Jan: your doing great sweetie

[Lunar]

499 lezzz goo congrats to 500

[Guillermo Arredondo]

I must say, I started watching nuzlocke es thanks to Jaiden and I am glad to watch your vids.

[HungryPlan3t Plays]

This man really making me know how complicated pokemon really is

[HYPER GAMES]

Jan: talking about how good ghost types are Dragonair: 💀💀💀💀

[Mr.Volk]

So I've started my first nuzlocke. A soullink with a friend that is more experienced at pkm.... And is randomized. One of our first encounters I found a Giratina. Who was almost one shooting anything I had. And I couldn't flee. My friend is like "welp, the run is over".... And I was like... Yeah.. but hey let's try to pokeball it the chance is crap but maybe.... Just maybe it I'll work... 5 turns later because Giratina spammed one of those stats reduction moves and o actually managed to catch it on my last pokeball. Crisis averted I guess and now I got a god of death or something like that

[Handsome Jack]

I love that the entire mindset of casual nuzlocke runs (at least from Jaiden and Alpha) is no longer "I want to become better at Pokemon" or "I want a bigger challenge from Pokemon", it is "I want Pokemon Challenges to make fun of me as little as possible"

[ProjectIceman]

Goals XD

[Juan Star (Old Channel)]

@SomeRguy this comment In this case: 😃 In other cases: 🧟‍♂️

[•Baked potato•]

@SomeRguy if there was no context Twitter would cancel you lol-

[AcceptedD]

@Anh Quân Phan in context, it's still wrong

[lightninja- SuperTom]

I would love to see a multi gen. Three person soul link. Imagine the chaos with the randomizer and having to rely on two other people and yourself for every pokemons lives.

[jason barrette]

35:40 I like to imagine that he’s giving this reaction as their Pokémon goes down in-universe. He’s standing over them “Oh oh! Gotta watch that counter! There’s actually just one of those things that you learn when you play more, especially facing fighting types…” meanwhile, Charizard is wheezing it’s last breath as somber music plays.

[Jeremy Mitchem]

I wanna agree. I've lost more Pokemon from fast forward grinding than battles.

[cpMetis]

Cradily will always be an eldritch horror in my head thanks to ending three consecutive Volt White runs for me.

[ultimateninjaboi]

"Hi Jan." "Hi Jaiden." This made my goddamn day. Not gonna lie

[Moth_Chi1d]

@Shadow Snake yeahhhhhh let’s go!!

[Shadow Snake]

@Moth_Chi1d I wasn't the only one thinking it!

[Tarak]

Lol i just saw that part as a looked your comment

[Shane DLZ]

@Moth_Chi1d “That hurt”

[Couvade Shark]

@Elz37 Ya know id rather people do that than to be saying their name wrong forever.

[Hey Baeuwb]

cradle is one of my favs i love playing stalling style so i love the chip dmg on this so good!

[Christian A]

I'd just like to point out that Jan mentioned that "It seems like i have less facial hair every time" and the last time he's defeated, it looks like he has none

[Cap193]

27:00 “if the game bullshits you, you should never be ashamed of bullshitting back”

[Flopper74]

It's fucking hilarious to me that Jacob keeps accidentally killing every Pokémon that he encounters.

[tobak952]

Jaiden: *animates Jan laying unconscious with his butt in the air* Jan: "you have no idea how much this feeds my narcissism right now" ( 37:10 )

[Mr. Goose]

@Disanem because that’s the language they speak?

[tobak952]

@- Soapy Bread - youre welcome, thank you guys for all the likes, holy crap XD

[Disanem]

@Rʜɪᴋᴀʟᴇᴇ ᴏғғɪᴄɪᴀʟ why TF did you start speaking filipino

[Rʜɪᴋᴀʟᴇᴇ ᴏғғɪᴄɪᴀʟ]

Ay sige

[Ropislue Moore]

I'm going to be honest, I didn't realize the outfits were switched when I watched Jaiden's video, I was just like, "oh cool, custom outfits."

[Fluke]

The animations are so good!

[Sarah Lachman]

Anyone else here think Jaiden and Jan should do a Nuzlocke together?

[xSilverWolfx15]

3:25 "I can walk into the tall grass at any point, and accidentally find God" This absolutely killed me lmfao That animation was absolutely perfect as well haha

[MrFillzor]

Being immortalized in one of Jaiden's videos? Now that's an achievement

[The Dipermont Show]

For Sure. 5k

[Super Lombax]

@Davi Lopes Seems like he's more than just grateful. Lol

[Davi Lopes]

For sure, he should be grateful XD

[Ikari]

That's a Hit

[Felix Crawford]

@AI Magolor m

[David Marshall]

I never watch reaction videos. Seriously. Never. But this was hilarious.

[CharlesDoesAThing]

"Jan's gonna make so much fun of us." *maniacal laughter*

[Skuamato]

37:00 "You have no idea how much that feeds my narcissism" lol that cracked me

[Final Advance]

Here’s a challenge for you. The rules are the same as what you just reacted to but with one extra rule. (Or more if you want) Input mirror match: whatever you do for one team you must do for the other. Example, if you use top left attack for team A, you must also use top left for team B. If you use an item for team B, you must use an item just as far down the scroll bar for team A.

[Athicuz]

33:58 “Jan is gonna make so much fun of us when he finds out” Jan: *BURST* *OUT* *LAUGHING*
